Introduction to the mosque: It is part of the Shirvan Palace complex. It is a building with an almost right-angled structure and an arrow-shaped vault gatehouse. The gatehouse has broad sides hewn in stone, but is not decorated with carvings. The interior decoration, cornices and white paint of the mosque, as well as the paint on the gatehouse walls were all completed later - in the late 19th or early 20th century - and have nothing to do with ancient times. On the mosque tower, there are stalactite decorations under the circular platform in the upper part. Slightly lower than these decorations there are relief inscriptions engraved around the mosque, and at the end of the 19th century an iron fence was installed around the mosque tower.
